> > I have been diagnosed GAD+depression for the last 5 years. I have been through all SSRI's and all the new ADs, Buspar, Valium, and neurontin. I have wanted to try geodon because my sister is BP and gets anxiety without her zyprexa. I am hoping that Geodon might be my zyprexa. I spoke with my pdoc yesterday and he's not optimistic about it. He also scared the crap about me with the tardive diskinesia stuff. How much should that figure into my decision. Also any other suggestions are welcome. All AD's gave me akathesia at high doses (Trying to get rid of the anxiety), Neurontin has been okay, and Valium makes make too drowsy. Thanks, Jeff

> You have a good doctor! Count yourself lucky.Is the risk of tardive diskinesia greater with ziprasidone than with Zyprexa or other drugs in the same class?
